The current methods such as use flash card or teach on whiteboard only or only using the textbook are not helping too much in developing the children interest and attention in learning Jawi. Instead of using textbook and flashcard, the children can learn Jawi in creative way.

Overall, the results shows that majority of the respondent agreed that Dunia Jawi courseware helps the children in many ways with the highest mean 4.0 (SD=0.83). So, this courseware is proven in helping student attention in learning Jawi. As the conclusion the findings shows that most of the respondents are satisfied with the courseware. However, the courseware still needs to be improved in order to make it more effective and comprehensive.
